We are kind of anchored in Punta Cana based on a very quick, hey, we have a week, can we get somewhere warm and find accomodations, etc. I'd have preferred to have been closer to the Caribbean side (south) of the country but we really did not know anyone who had any experience with the island.
Seems like outside of a few resorts, not many travel agents know the Dominican Republic very well and it generally gets trashed as a dive spot on many of the message boards to people who prefer Coz or Belize, etc. But we snorkeled at the Club Med in Punta Cana several years ago and had a great time. Its still one of the kids (now 14 and 11) favorite vacations. Thanks for your reply and will post a trip report when we get back. Happy holidays!! Chris
